Unlimited BB Internet Package?

[joeyhza]

Can someone please let me know which is the cheapest non-contract package that everyone is talking about. Apparently its something like R69 p/m for unlimited on device downloads and browsing.

Thanks

Think you're talking about BIS. It's R59pm.

Not sure about it being unlimited. Some people say certain files are limited to a certain size.

Thanks - so i walk into a cell store and ask for the BIS R59pm package?
Also - apparently there's people downloading up to 8GB per day on the 'unlimited' package?

No. You get it on prepaid. Depending on your service provider you just dial that number (*111# or whatever ) and follow the prompts to load It on your blackberry.

If you have a Blackberry that has OS6 and very good 3G coverage then you can achieve such results, i topped out at 1.5GB in a single day then the site i was using started giving ****.

Noooo! Connecting to a pc will charge you at R2/mb. On device downloading is only free.

You download the file directly to your memory card and view afterwards,no live streaming.

Ya, just not ftp, but find that a common thing with other handsets too. If needed opera will do the trick, I get my links via rlslog.net, good place for vids and tunes, but basically any http site will do.

What can make life simpler is registering with sitetophone.com, in ff it uses a java bookmark and in chrome a pluggin that sends a url to their server which is linked to your account and a bookmark you would of saved on your phone during setup. This bookmark is like a tinyurl, basically just redirects the phone to the link last sent to the server.
Much easier than doing the tinyurl thing each time.
